Australian Trade Training College offers a complete business qualification pathway from the Certificate III in Business through to diploma level. Whether you are building foundational administration skills, developing specialist expertise in project management or entrepreneurship, or stepping into a senior leadership role, there is a qualification designed for where you are heading.
Which Business or WHS Qualification is Right for You?
Not sure where to start? Here is a guide based on your current situation and goals:
| You are starting out in office, administration or customer service | The Certificate III in Business gives you a broad foundation across business operations. It is the right starting point for those new to business roles or wanting to formalise existing skills. |
| You are involved in project coordination or administration | The Certificate IV in Project Management Practice gives you the formal project management skills to support project teams across any industry. |
| You work in WHS or want to move into a safety role | The Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety is the core qualification for WHS professionals across all industries. It is relevant whether you are just starting in WHS or formalising years of safety experience. |
| You need targeted WHS compliance training | Our short courses, including confined spaces, are designed for workers and businesses that need to meet specific regulatory or compliance requirements without enrolling in a full qualification. |

Frequently Asked Questions about Business and WHS Training
What business and WHS courses are available in Queensland?
Australian Trade Training College offers a full suite of business qualifications from the Certificate III in Business, including specialist pathways in project management. For WHS, we offer the Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety and short courses including confined spaces.
Can I study business or WHS courses online?
Yes. Most ATTC business and WHS qualifications are available through a blended delivery model, with self-paced online theory and assessment through our learning management system, supported by virtual classes and simulated project work. Some units include face-to-face components at our campuses. Short courses may include a one-day practical workshop at our campus after online pre-course completion.
Do I need to be working to complete a business or WHS qualification?
For traineeship-based qualifications, you do need to be working (or enter a formal traineeship with an employer), as part of your training involves applying skills in a real workplace context. For Fee for Service enrolments, workplace experience is still beneficial but not always mandatory. Speak to our team to confirm the requirements for your chosen qualification before you enrol.
Is business or WHS training government funded in Queensland?
Yes. Eligible Queensland students can access government funding through the Career Start Program for the Certificate III in Business, and through the Higher Level Skills program for Certificate IV and diploma-level business and WHS qualifications. Eligibility criteria apply, including that you must not already hold a qualification at the same level or higher in that subject area. Visit our Funding and Fees page or speak to our team to confirm what you qualify for.
What industries can I work in with a WHS qualification?
WHS professionals are needed in every industry. The Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety from ATTC is specifically designed to be applicable across all sectors, including construction, mining, manufacturing, healthcare, transport, government, education and corporate business. Many employers across Queensland require a formal WHS qualification for safety officer and compliance roles, and the Certificate IV is the recognised baseline qualification for these positions.
Are Australian Trade Training College business and WHS qualifications nationally recognised?
Yes. All qualifications delivered by ATTC are nationally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). ATTC operates as a registered training organisation (RTO 31399) and issues certification when competency is achieved.
